## How to see every skill and MCP server across your agents with Skill Buddy

Repo: [konnga/skill-buddy](https://github.com/konnga/skill-buddy) | Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 15 minutes | Basis: From the README

Open one dashboard that discovers Skills, MCP servers and instruction files from all detected agents.

**Who it is for:** A developer who uses Claude Code, Codex and Cursor and has lost track of what each one loads.

**The problem:** Skills and MCP configs are scattered across different tool folders.

**The outcome:** A unified inventory with drift warnings and per-agent comparisons.

### Steps

1. Install the desktop app for your OS
2. On macOS clear quarantine with `xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/SkillBuddy.app`
3. Open the Dashboard to see detected agents and drift warnings
4. Use the Skills page to compare what each agent actually loads

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Open konnga/skill-buddy and list every Skill and MCP server it detects per agent. Flag any drift warnings and confirm which agents are missing a skill the others have.
```

### Caveat

Removing the macOS quarantine flag bypasses Gatekeeper, so only do it for a build you trust.

## How to share reviewed team skills through a Git repository with Skill Buddy

Repo: [konnga/skill-buddy](https://github.com/konnga/skill-buddy) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 45 minutes | Basis: From the README

Use the team library to sync Git-managed skills, review policy status and assign role bundles.

**Who it is for:** A team lead who wants every engineer's agent to load the same approved skills.

**The problem:** Copying skill folders by hand leads to version drift across the team.

**The outcome:** One Git-backed library that SkillBuddy distributes to each agent.

### Steps

1. Create a Git repository for team skills
2. Add it in the Team library page
3. Review policy status and configure role bundles
4. Sync and confirm each agent received the bundle

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
In skill-buddy, connect <git repo> as the team library, sync it, and report which skills were installed to which agents. Verify nothing outside the bundle was changed.
```

### Caveat

An optional self-hosted registry exists, but the team library works directly from Git.

## How to back up your skills and presets to Git with Skill Buddy

Repo: [konnga/skill-buddy](https://github.com/konnga/skill-buddy) | Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 15 minutes | Basis: From the README

Use the Data page to back up user Skills and Presets to Git and restore a previous configuration.

**Who it is for:** A developer about to reinstall a machine or switch laptops.

**The problem:** Agent customizations are easy to lose in a reinstall.

**The outcome:** A restorable backup of skills, presets and settings.

### Steps

1. Open the Data page
2. Back up user Skills and Presets to a Git repository
3. Export settings
4. On the new machine, restore the previous configuration

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Using skill-buddy, back up all user Skills and Presets to <git repo>, then list what was saved. Confirm the backup commit exists in the remote.
```

### Caveat

Backups include only user-scope resources; check project-local skills separately on the Project Skills page.
